Episode 577 Sad Toast (2)
“Is it okay in there?”
“Yes yes!”
“Now that I think about it, didn’t you say that your back isn’t completely healed yet?”
“Oh my! That’s just half a day off! “The warriors of the castle are giving it to us like this, so why should we just sit still and use it?”
“If you say that, we feel even more sorry. This incident was completely Moorim’s business. “You guys have suffered greatly because of the enemies, so we should be sorry.”
“no! Never think like that! Thanks to someone, we have lived comfortably until now. “Everyone was prepared to do that.”
“Hehehe, I’m embarrassed. Anyway, take it easy. “It’s not something that can be dealt with quickly just because we move quickly.”
“yes!”
Song Sang-baek smiled and comforted the civilians.
After the Battle of Iron Blood Fortress, Song Zhongbaek did not miss a single day and focused on restoring the fortress.
He wandered around the inner and outer walls, carefully inspecting the condition of civilians as well as military personnel.
Even lodging and food were shared with them, and it was not uncommon to see the King of Sapa eating and sleeping with the common people on the streets.
The civilians could not help but be moved by such actions of Song Zheng Baek.
Excessive kindness from superiors can actually be a burden to subordinates.
But the remittance bag was different. He did not seem to regard the civilians as his subordinates. As people in the same position, I deeply sympathized with their feelings.
Before that, Song Jong-baek’s attitude towards them was humble. He truly believed that the damage suffered by the civilians was because of him, and his sincerity was conveyed earnestly.
It looks completely different from the remittance encyclopedia of the past.
Is it because my perspective on the world changed as I gained enlightenment? Or is it because I have seen countless teachers in the past?
He was becoming a monarch who did not fit the word evil faction.
“Is this enough?”
Together with the five warriors under his command, he was helping to repair the collapsed palaces.
It would probably be possible to build a new one, but it was so collapsed that it would be difficult to build a new one. In the end, I decided to call a technician to repair it.
There were as many as twenty such pavilions. Now that half of it has been repaired, if only half more is done, the labor of the remittance bag will be roughly completed.
“Lord Seong.”
“hmm?”
“A guest has arrived.”
“customer?”
“yes.”
Hyeolwi’s voice was unusually quiet.
“This is the general military of the Demonic Church, not the Protestant Church.”
Zhong Zhenbaek’s eyes deepened.
* * *
“Wow, it’s such a sad time.”
“It was really creepy.”
“So you’re okay now?”
“haha! It’s difficult to tell you that far. “Whatever the reason, aren’t you the natural successor?”
“Tsk, you are thorough as expected.”
“I almost got fooled by Soldier Ho’s words and blew up everything.”
“ha ha ha! Is it even possible to call it eloquence? “I think the conversation with Officer Hwang was so interesting that I got excited without even realizing it.”
“It’s an honor.”
The two people looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Huang Kun said.
“Anyway, isn’t it true that you don’t know what’s going on in the world?”
“What do you mean?”
“I never dreamed that the general army of the Iron Blood Castle and the general army of the Protestant Church would meet in this way.”
“ha ha ha.”
“I thought we would never meet unless one of the two powers collapsed or unification of the world was just around the corner.”
Hu Yao-seong grinned.
“I thought so too. As Soldier Hwang said, I really don’t know what’s going on in the world.”
After quenching his thirst with a sip of tea, Hu Yaosheng added.
“Anyway, it looks like the Lord of the castle is very busy?”
“Are conversations with this person no longer fun?”
“Oh my! “Is that possible?”
Huang Kun burst out laughing at the bewildered face of Hu Yaosheng.
“He will come as soon as the work is finished. “Until then, let’s talk about this and that with this person some more, even if it’s a bit boring.”
“Haha, that’s good too.”
If he were the commander-in-chief of the Heavenly Demon Church, he was one of the most distinguished guests of Wulin.
Nevertheless, Hwang Gon did not say anything such as saying he was sorry or saying he would apologize. This is because I believe that such words themselves diminish the status of remittance bags.
And Hu Yao-seong understood Hwang Kun’s feelings. Because he wouldn’t have been any different from Hwang Gon.
“Now, speaking of the Lord of Seong, he is truly an amazing person.”
“In what part?”
“Even if it is just for show, it is not easy to work with subordinates. “What’s more, you even share lodging and meals with us.”
“haha.”
“I was truly impressed. Indeed, being the head of an organization with a level of iron-bloodedness is not something just anyone can do. “I realized that the bowl was different.”
Hu Yaosheng’s voice was full of sincerity.
There is no reason to lift the opponent. Huang Kun also knew this, so he selflessly accepted Hu Yaocheng’s words.
“He is a person with outstanding human charm. “What a shame, would even a guy like me come under the command of the Lord of Seong?”
“Huh? “Why, Mr. Hwang?”
“He was greedy, selfish, and even arrogant. If the Lord of Seong had not given it to me, I might have died by now at the hands of an unknown robber.”
This, too, was not an empty statement.
Hu Yaosheng smiled.
“The Lord of Seong seems to be a truly blessed person.”
“haha! Thank you for the compliment.”
It was then.
The smiles on the two people’s faces disappeared as if washed away.
Hu Yaosheng said calmly.
“You’re here.”
“okay.”
Hwang Gon stood up.
Grumble.
At the same time, the door opened and a shirtless remittance bag came in.
Hu Yaosheng also stood up and bowed.
“I meet the owner of Iron Blood Castle. “He is said to be Ho Yo-seong, the commander-in-chief of the Heavenly Demon Church.”
“hmm.”
Zhong Zhenbaek, who was looking at Hu Yao Sheng with sharp eyes, soon smiled.
“Nice to meet you, soldier.”
“thank you.”
“I was busy with work so I delayed. “I’m sorry.”
“no. “It is an honor just to meet Naburaengi, a civil servant who came unexpectedly.”
Hwang Gon sighs without even realizing it! and laughed.
Song Geum-baek whetted his appetite.
“If you are a civil servant, all the people in the world who claim to read will have to beat their heads to death.”
“haha.”
“Please sit down.”
“yes.”
So the two people sat facing each other. Huang Kun naturally became a city behind Zhong Zheng Baek.
Hu Yaosheng asked with a smile.
“Are you here from work just now?”
Song Zhongbaek wiped his sweaty upper body with a white cloth.
“Recently, I have come to realize a new principle of martial arts. “My mind is complicated, and as I hang out with people and focus my energy on various things, I feel like I’m moving away from my obsession.”
“You are amazing. “Can you tell me that?”
“what? “You mean you realized what was wrong?”
“That’s right.”
Song Zhengbaek chuckled.
“No matter how great the people I have enlightened are, I wonder if they can even reach the feet of the best people in the world of their time.”
Hu Yaosheng’s eyes sparkled.
It was a calm and relaxed admission of defeat. Song Sang-baek said that he could not keep up with Seo-ryang at his level.
Surprisingly, there was no sense of defeat or regret in that voice.
‘He’s a great person.’
Surajje remittance bag.
He is a half-giant who has made many mistakes while working with Dam Sa-young.
Some of them were directly connected to fatal mistakes, so if the response had been a little late, the Iron Blood Fortress would have collapsed.
An absolute master who looked back on his past by reviewing each and every dizzying mistake.
‘Now I can see his true appearance as a Grand Master.’
Once again, I felt like I knew what Hwang Gon meant.
Zhong Zhengbaek is a big person. I thought that if I had met Song Sang-baek before Lee Cheon-sang, I might have been captivated by his human charm rather than his abilities.
“Is this why the precious general of Protestantism came to visit us without any message?”
“After looking into Gangseo Sanghoe for a while, I felt like it was the right time, so I came to see it in person.
Of course, I should have contacted you first, but I’ve been thinking a lot lately, so I made a big mistake. sorry.”
“I didn’t mean to ask for an apology.”
Zhong Zhenbaek’s eyes sparkled.
“Is it perhaps because of the royal seal issue?”
There was a look of surprise on Hu Yaosheng’s face.
“How did you know?”
Zhong Zhenbaek pointed at Huang Kun with his thumb.
“The general of Bonseong is also quite intelligent. “They said that in the near future, the Protestant side will approach the issue of the royal seal.”
“You are amazing.”
Despite Hu Yaosheng’s admiration, Huang Kun maintained a calm expression. He didn’t even open his mouth. It was probably an expression of his intention not to hastily get involved in the Lord of Seong’s conversation.
Hu Yaosheng nodded and opened his mouth.
“That’s right. “I came here because of the royal seal issue.”
“Explain.”
“As you know, we have an emperor and a royal seal. And with those two, it wouldn’t be difficult to build a new country on the back of the empire.”
Zhong Zhenbaek’s eyebrows twitched.
“Building a country?”
“That’s right.”
“Do you mean to establish a new country rather than expand the existing imperial power?”
Although he didn’t show it, Hu Yaosheng was impressed once again.
There are not many people who can understand the difference unless it is explained in detail. Although he is not as good as Huang Kun, Song Zhengbaek is also a person with overflowing abilities as the leader of a sect.
“That’s right.”
“That’s a dangerous idea.”
“It was not originally intended to use the royal seal for that purpose. “The purpose of the royal seal was to provide a justification for this war.”
“But?”
“Towards the end of the first war, the leader’s heart was greatly shaken.
At that time, the religious leader was truly angry. “I think the Lord of Seong will know that well.”
Of course, I also knew about the remittance bag.
When the battle for Iron Blood Castle was in full swing, Seoryang appeared, emitting so much magical energy that it seemed as if it would cover the entire sky.
And Seoliang ended the battle of Iron Blood Fortress with just one move.
It was truly worthy of being called the martial arts of God. No, the power that Xu Liang showed at that time was already beyond the scope of martial arts.
Sword of the heart.
It is the highest level of wielding a sword with one’s heart. Seo-ryang used the state of his mind and sword to turn the Iron Blood Castle completely upside down with a force that was close to a natural disaster.
Of course, after delivering that absolute blow, he fell into a half-dead state.
“Then I thought: “The cause of the war is important, but at least for now, we need to reduce the sense of discomfort.”
“A feeling of discomfort?”
“Sir, you have now become a true Heavenly Demon that no one can stop. In other words, it is safe to say that the place where the cult leader’s murderous intent is heading will disappear from the face of the earth.”
Zheng Zhongbaek’s face hardened.
It wasn’t wrong. Who can resist someone who wields a calamitous power that cannot be avoided or prevented, with absolute martial power that encompasses the entire Iron Blood Castle?
“So that’s the problem. The leader has become so strong. And showing that strength in front of so many people was a problem in itself.”
“…I feel uncomfortable.”
“That’s right.”
Hu Yaosheng’s eyes deepened.
“It can’t go on like this. Even if we take control of the existing imperial palace and expand our power, normal operation will not be possible.”
“It would be a usurpation.”
“That’s right.”
Now, there is no one in the martial arts world who does not know the power of Seoryang. He takes control of the martial arts world with the imperial palace on his back?
Is it really an empire or a Protestant world?
“We have been working hard to reduce the sense of discomfort felt by civilians. But…”
Then Hwang Gon opened his mouth.
“Why are you so obsessed with a cause?”
The two people saw Huang Kun.
“Currently, the Church of the Heavenly Demon is the strongest religious organization. “Whether you expand your power by occupying the imperial palace or found a new country, there won’t be much difference, right?”
“Absolutely not. The reason is that the fate of a country varies depending on what cause it rules over the world.”
“And there’s one more thing I’d like to ask.”
“Please speak.”
“You said a little while ago that it was the end of the first war, right?”
Hwang Gon’s face suddenly hardened.
“Is it really possible that there will be a second war?”
“of course.”
“…?!”
“And the war won’t be as loud as it has been. At least it won’t seem that way.”
Hu Yaosheng’s expression turned cold.
“Did you two really think that Damsayoung had truly stepped down?”
